About

The SpartUp logo: Block letters spell the words Spart and Up, and a cartoon-style paper airplane bisects the words, a dotted line indicating its path.
The SpartUp Incubator Program is a unique ecosystem joining SJSU Research & Innovation, university curriculum, and community organizations.

Together we provide a web of support for Spartan entrepreneurs (Spartaneurs)  through their startup journey—from idea, through prototype, to planning and fundraising.

We have an opportunity to change the systems and structures that support more diverse and equitable prosperity for SJSU students, alumni, faculty and staff through entrepreneurship. 

Join us as we launch the SpartUp Incubator Program, where Spartaneurs learn and practice real-world skills that will position them to succeed as founders and principals, employees, and commercializing researchers.

Get Involved

You can apply to join the Incubator as an individual or team.
